“Kristen is one of the easiest people to work with! Posted stay last minute and Kristen was able to deliver great care on such short notice. It is truly a blessing being able to get away knowing my pups were loved just like I love them.”
“Tara did an excellent job housesitting and petsitting our German shorthair dog, Sage. She was very responsive and we loved the pictures and numerous updates throughout the day, it made us feel so at ease and assured that our dog was in good hands! We have already booked her for another date. Thank you, Tara!”
“Sauddi took excellent care of our dogs and our home! She provided ample updates and even left a few toys for the dogs to enjoy after her stay with them. We would absolutely recommend her to others and will not hesitate to rebook with her in the future!”
“Sarah was absolutely great! She is great at communication both before and during the day, kept the house clean, and most importantly kept the animals safe while we were away. We are looking forward to using Sarah in the future!”
“Lori and Daisy had a great time! Lori kept me informed while I was away with sweet photos and texts. My apartment was in great shape upon my arrival home. Bed linens washed and replaced, kitchen cleaned up and all dishes put away. I will definitely ask Lori to stay with Daisy in the future! 😊”
“Great communication! ReAna took excellent care of my cat and my place and sent pictures each visit. I really appreciate the check-ins. Would definitely recommend ReAna to anyone as a cat sitter!”
“Julie was awesome! She saved us from having to cancel our vacation. 2 days before our trip, our 60lb Boxer showed symptoms of kennel cough which meant we could not board him ?. With no back up plan, we were frantic to book someone to stay in our home overnight with our dog. After reaching out to a dozen or so people, Julie was prompt to respond and let us know about other obligations she committed to during those dates. We worked out a flexible schedule and did a meet and greet the same day. We booked her the same day! She was comfortable with our dog’s illness, medication and behavioral needs. She communicated daily about our dogs symptoms and assured us of any problems. Her Vet Tech background helped us relax on vacation. We were so lucky to find her and we will definitely use her in the future. Thank you again Julie for taking care of our pup!”
“Audrey was so great. Super punctual and we could just tell that our pup loved her right off the bat. She spent the day with our dog while we were out for an event and there were no issues at all. Would absolutely book with Audrey again.”
“We absolutely adore Konnie! She is very communicative and sends updates that let us know our fur babies are happy and safe! She is a great house guest as well, leaving everything better than we left it! :) we highly recommend her!”
“10/10 stars! I always get nervous leaving town and having people watch my pets; Olivia put my mind at ease and was so amazing! I did not stress at all while she watched them, i loved getting pictures of my dog and cats while I was away. I will absolutely be having her watch my fur babies again! My dog loved her from the second she walked in my door, and my cats did great with her as well. I am so pleased! Thank you so much Olivia!”
“James is the most amazing pet sitter/house sitter! From the moment he came to meet our pets, we could tell he’s a true animal lover and genuinely good person. He had great communication, a fun sense of humor, and loves what he does. I couldn’t be happier with our experience.”
“Marcy did amazing with Theo. It was my first time leaving her outside of our family and my mind was completely at ease. Marcy sent updates and photos regularly which was fantastic! I returned home, tired and jet lagged, to a happy, healthy dog and a tidy house. I will be HIGHLY recommending her and will definitely have her return in the future.”
About: I’ve loved pets all my life and very good with cats and dogs. I enjoy caring for all types of animals and treat them as if they are my own. I have my own dog and cat and I take a lot of time watching them and taking care of their needs. I love it. I have a part time job but I still find time to give both of them attention I have an outdoor cat and indoor dog meaning I have experienced two different environments when it comes to pets. With this experience I know I will be able to make pets feel safe.
“It’s always daunting having to find someone take care of your fur babies. I was so happy to have had Lilly be so helpful in keeping our girls safe, loved and well taken care of while we were away. Will definitely be using her to help us out again. Thanks Lilly! ??”
“Brooke was great with our dog Calypso. She responded quickly, showed up on time for our meet and greet, & was open and friendly. She is obviously comfortable around dogs, and Callie could clearly sense that. . Brooke communicated clearly with me throughout the booking and sitting process.”
“Michelle watched our babies during our wedding weekend! She was amazing and we were able to relax and really enjoy our wedding without worrying about our babies. We also have a dog with reactive issues and she was great with her. We highly recommend Michelle and our dogs love her!”
About: I grew up in a home full of animals, including three boxers, a pit bull, and cats all around! All of the animals i’ve owned have lived to senior ages, so I am aware of what may need done to love the older guys a little extra! I’m also aware of what puppy training or walking may look like. I’ve trained and raised three of my own dogs as well. I am currently working full time, but my hours may vary per day! I am available for dog walking/drop in visits early morning and afternoon/evening! Currently our day starts with a potty trip and around ten minutes of enrichment before going into kennels for work! Once I am home, we are at a park or on a walk daily! My girls eat once in the morning and once in the evening. Our evening then finishing with a final potty break and settling into bed!
The median cost per night for house sitting in Hartville is $50

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hartville on Rover is $88.8 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 623 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hartville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Hartville walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Hartville maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Hartville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
